Questions

What is a good gift for a new girlfriend?

Keep it thoughtful and low pressure: a book tied to something she said, a nice candle, tickets to something she mentioned, or an instant camera for your next outing.

What do you get a girlfriend for your anniversary?

Something about the two of you: a photo book of your year, letters to open later, or a planned trip back to where you met.
